The equation representing the relationship between grams of honey (y) and grams of salt (x) is expressed as: "y = 1.4x."
How to get the equation
In this scenario, y represents the grams of honey required, while x represents the grams of salt needed.
The ratio of grams of honey to grams of salt is 14 grams of honey for every 10 grams of salt, which is simplified to a constant value of k = 1.4 when divided (14/10).
Therefore, the equation y = 1.4x indicates that the grams of honey (y) needed can be determined by multiplying the grams of salt (x) by the constant factor 1.4.
With x = 70
1.4 * 70
= 98
Hence the salt needed is 98 grams
